Creative Zen V (1GB, white)

Pros: Excellent music quality, and incredibly easy User interface.

Cons: Hardware flimsy and buttons sometimes stick. Screen light doesn't stay on long enough.

Summary: This is a good Mp3 player for its price, though I certainly think the Plus would be a better purchase. I've had no problem with the player working, and its very easy to get started and its software is wonderful! However, some of the navigational "buttons" have given me grief. The center piece, or "joystick" simply fell apart, with the plastic white covering falling completely off! I can still navigate, but I have to use my fingernail to get down in there and move it.

Plus, there are times when I press the pause/play button, and it skips to the next song.

Its no iPod, but is a good buy if your just interested in listening to music or taking your pictures on the go.
